Mandrake Update Problem

[Tyler Regas]

Hey all!

Good news! My proposal for a Mandrake book has been accepted by Que
Publishing, so I'll be a Linux author soon :) I have a question for you
all that has been pestering me and popped up again last night. Mandrakes
online update system typically offers a RPM based kernel update. When I
was using 8.0 and tried it it kacked out my system. I just tried it
again with 8.1 last night and it did it again. 

Does anyone know what the deal is here? Now, I know that its generally
not accepted to update a kernel with an RPM, but my book is special.
This book is for desktop users and contains only a very small smattering
of console stuff. All of it is GUI oriented, which is why I keep trying
this kernel update.

TIA,

Tyler
